Instagram video downloader
Copy an Instagram post link — feed video, carousel clip, or IGTV — and download MP4 through FileShot's unified video downloader.
Open Video DownloaderReels have a dedicated flow: Instagram Reels downloader.
Works with standard Instagram video posts and longer IGTV uploads when publicly accessible.
Same downloader handles Instagram alongside YouTube, TikTok, and hundreds more sites.
We don't build a history of URLs you paste — processing is ephemeral.
Saving Instagram videos with FileShot
Instagram doesn't offer a native download button for most posts. FileShot's Video Downloader extracts the underlying MP4 stream when the post is public.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why didn't my Instagram link work?
Private accounts, Stories (unless you have a direct clip URL), and login-only content cannot be fetched without authentication.
Can I download carousel videos?
Yes — paste the post URL. If multiple videos exist, analysis may list separate streams.
Will the download include Instagram's compression?
You receive the stream Instagram serves — typically H.264 MP4 optimized for mobile.
Frequently asked questions
Is this Instagram downloader free?
Yes for personal use within FileShot's daily tools quota.
Do I need to log into Instagram?
Not for public posts. Paste the share link from the Instagram app or website.
Can I convert IG video to GIF?
Download MP4 first, then use our Video to GIF tool for short loops.
